Eco-day

The annual Eco-day (Øko-dag) is taking place every year in April. The day is also called ‘The Release of the Cows’-Day or ‘The Spring Party of the Cows’. The winter months the dairy cows spend in the stables, but during the summer period they are assured grazing at least 150 days. The fresh grass is an important source of vitamins and minerals.

The cows can – like humans – feel when spring is in the air and around April they are ready to be let out. A number of organic milk farmers have decided to let this day fall on the same date every year - so the cows have to wait for that day to arrive.

The Eco-day is a cooperation between Thise Dairy, Osted Dairy, Øllingegård Dairy, Naturmælk, Arla Dairies and Økologisk Landsforening. This is the third year the Eco-day has been held and  Karensminde has been a part of it since the beginning.

The online shop of Karensminde

We are still developing our concept for sale of ecological products. They will primarily consist of potatoes, celery, other seasonal fruits and vegetables and beef from our Jersey cows.

Even though Jersey cows normally are used to produce milk, their meat is said to be some of the most tender and tasty on the market. The Danish Meat Association had conducted several tests carried out by professional judges and confirmed that the meat from this type of cattle is one of the best.

We are looking forward to opening the Online Shop. Feel free to contact us if you can not wait.
